حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مَسْلَمَةَ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ الصَّنْعَانِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَجِيدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ أَبِي رَوَّادٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ ضَمْرَةَ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ كَرَّمَ اللَّهُ وَجْهَهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ ، " أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، كَانَ يُصَلِّي قَبْلَ الْعَصْرِ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ "، لَمْ يَرْوِهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ، إِلا ابْنُهُ عَبْدُ الْمَجِيدِ
Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray four rak‘ahs before ‘Asr.

Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
1272. Commentary:
These Sunnahs are recommended (mustahabb) and are not counted among the regular Sunnahs (Sunan Rawatib, i.e., emphasized Sunnahs). Also, the narration mentioning two rak‘ahs does not contradict the one mentioning four rak‘ahs; rather, the narration of two rak‘ahs is to be understood as referring to occasional practice, i.e., sometimes four rak‘ahs were performed and sometimes two rak‘ahs. For details, see: [عون المعبود]
According to Shaykh al-Albani rahimahullah, this narration with the wording "four rak‘ahs" is hasan (good in authenticity).
